Our Verdict
A strong choice for buyers seeking a modern premium hatchback with low-average mileage and a clean recent MOT record. It represents a sensible purchase for those looking for a balance of Audi branding and lower annual running costs.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the service history is up to date, as low-mileage cars require consistent interval to maintain warranty. Since it is a 2022 model, check if the manufacturer warranty is still active to provide additional peace of mind. Ask the seller about the brief MOT failure at 30,176 miles; while it was rectified immediately, it is useful to know what specific component required adjustment or replacement.
Pay close attention to the tyres and wiper blades, as these are common failure points for this model in the aggregate data. Given the black paintwork, also inspect for stone chips on the bonnet and front bumper, which can be more visible on darker-coloured vehicles with motorway use.
The 1.0-litre engine typically falls into a lower insurance group and road tax band compared to larger A3 variants. Fuel economy is expected to be competitive, particularly for the 30 TFSI powertrain which is designed for efficiency.
Annual maintenance costs are influenced by premium brand parts pricing, but the low mileage suggests less frequent wear-and-tear replacements. Expect your total annual expenditure including fuel, tax, and servicing to be moderate for this class.
Focus on the areas highlighted by the September 2025 MOT failure. Although the vehicle passed the following day, ensure the issue was properly resolved and not just given a temporary fix. Check the tread depth across all tyres, as the aggregate data identifies tyres as a primary reason for MOT failures in this model range.
Additionally inspect the headlamp alignment and windscreen wipers, as these are statistically common failure points for the Audi A3. Ensure the windscreen is free of chips in the field of vision that could cause a failure in the next test.
This 2022 Audi A3 Technik 30 TFSI sits at 30,232 miles, which is significantly below the fleet average of 9,102 miles per year for its age. While it experienced an MOT failure in September 2025, it passed the test just one day later with no defects recorded. The small 999cc petrol engine suggests a cost-efficient option for urban and short-distance driving.
The Audi A3 shows a high reliability standard with a 90.3% average MOT pass rate across over 3,500 analysed vehicles.
